"Yeah." Coffey nodded sharply.
"Normally, becoming my subordinate requires a lengthy and tedious process, but time is running out right now..."
"You're right." Coffey's eyes lit up.
Eryi felt that the young adventurer in front of her seemed to be too excited. She adjusted her robe slightly and gently stroked Kofi's forehead with her right hand.
Kofi quickly knelt on one knee.
There was a commotion.
Eryi's appearance in the healing station had already caused a small commotion, not to mention that she suddenly spoke to an adventurer and made movements that seemed to be performing some ritual.
"Silence." Someone in the crowd shouted.
None of this had any effect on Eryi. She uttered the contract spell, and a magic circle appeared under their feet.
The crowd didn't remain silent for long. They lowered their voices and said, "So it's true that three magic circles appear when the High Priest contracts a subordinate."
"Why choose him, an unknown adventurer from another town?"
"The High Priest's only subordinates are Lord Holy Wolf and Cecil VI, right?"
"Who is this person?"
The magic circle gradually shrank as people whispered, turning into a ball of light that fell into Coffey's body. Countless feathers emitting light golden fluorescence fell from the void and gathered behind him, faintly forming a pair of fluffy wings.
Eryi opened the information of the new subordinate in front of him, who looked somewhat familiar.
Kofi [Quasi-First-Level Human]
HP 100% Fatigue 72/100
[Maria's Faithful Believer: When receiving any treatment from the host, all effects are doubled, and the effect of the subordinate blessing can be maximized.]
Before becoming a subordinate, he wasn't even considered a quasi-first-level human, and looked incredibly weak. If it weren't for Ling Ling Ba's request, she wouldn't have noticed him.
[Host, don't underestimate him. This is your first believer and the only one with full loyalty.]
Wasn't Judy the first believer? Eryi really didn't have much impression of this person.
A white dove flew into the healing station, marking the end of the subordination ceremony. It flew directly to Eryi, circled twice, and then stopped, reminding her to receive the letter.
This is a letter from the Union of Faithful.
Eryi quickly opened the letter and read it.
"I'm going out now. Do you want to come with me or stay here?"
Royal capital.
The skies of the entire continent were turbulent due to the dark elements overflowing from the abyss, and astrologers could no longer rely on their previous knowledge to obtain guidance.
At times like this, she would use this sentence to get rid of the visitor.
"Go find the prophet, she received a revelation."
The blind prophet needs to rely on assistants to survive. On this day, they welcomed a long-lost guest - a high-level priest of the God of Light.
"You've come just in time. Let me guess what you want to ask." The prophet instructed his assistant to bring the book over. "I've received a revelation."
The assistant held the long-standing prophecy book in his hands like a treasure, and showed the numbers on the back of the book to the visiting priest of light.
"These numbers on the last page, 152...028. I believe this will be the key to ending this disaster. We haven't been able to crack it until I got this."
The prophet suppressed his excitement and asked his assistant to take out the new version of the transmission coordinate map.
152.028 is exactly the teleportation coordinate of Sunset City.
"It will end here."
Eryi led her new followers into the Believers' Guild.
"I received your letter requesting that I come to the meeting."
The staff seemed busier than usual, and the originally tidy lobby looked a little messy, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time.
"I'm very sorry," Sophie looked up at the person who came and said, "We are a little busy right now. Can you go to the meeting room by yourself? Turn left at the end of the second floor." Staff members kept delivering some letters from upstairs to the lobby, and asked the pigeons of the Believers' Union to deliver them everywhere, as if they were preparing for something big.
Seeing that the fatigue levels of all the staff members she saw so far exceeded 80, Eryi reminded them, "Remember to rest."
The lady who was tying the letter to the pigeon's leg was stunned for a moment: "Thank you."
…
"Turn left at the end of the second floor...it should be this room."
Before him stood a pair of heavy-looking double doors. Kofi, the newly appointed servant, stepped forward and pushed them open. He had imagined countless times what it would be like to be a valet, paving the way for his priest, charging into battle...
The conference room was full of people.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone stopped discussing and turned around.
Everyone present here is a person of a certain status in Sunset City, headed by the lord, including the heads of various church temples, presidents of magic guild branches, city defense ministers, patrol ministers and others.
"She is back as expected. Your divination skills seem to have improved. When can you tell me again?" A man in a priest's robe and a hood said to an elegant middle-aged woman beside him.
"What do you mean by fortune? When can I get a promotion?" The man opposite raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll give you a fortune, but it's impossible."
"hehe."
An attendant standing by the gate led Eryi to the round table in the conference room. There was only one empty seat next to the lord, which was obviously reserved for her.
The lord sitting at the head nodded to her.
The Lord of Sunset City was a middle-aged man who looked pampered, his face showing few signs of aging. He waved to his servants and said, "Distribute the information to everyone."
"Now that everyone is here, we can begin explaining the plan."
…
The King of the Empire has just issued an order.
As the largest kingdom on the continent of Nadus, the Empire will directly negotiate with various races and follow the example of Khayas to close all entrances from the abyss across the continent.
Sunset City was chosen as the final battlefield to fight against the Abyss because it was the place of prophecy.
The expressions of everyone present turned visibly ugly.
"The plan will begin today. Starting tomorrow morning, an opening will be opened outside Sunset City."
"This doesn't mean we have to bear all of this burden, but it means we should be mentally prepared first."
"By then, the fighting power of all races on the Nadus continent will gather here. On a brighter note... after the battle is over, spending power here will surely surge again..."
What a joke! Being an outpost city is no joke. Once the defense line is breached, Sunset City will be the first to be destroyed.
The head of the Temple of Light did not object. He seemed to have known about this matter for a long time and was trying his best to persuade him.
Eryi was frantically calculating in his mind what equipment he could buy with the energy he had.
She needs to protect the believers.
In the past few days, those black stones alone have brought her over 15 million energy points. Should she contract more spirits? But spirits are not that effective against high-level demons...
"The king opened the treasury and allocated half a year's tax revenue from the entire empire to Sunset City. I will use this money for post-war reconstruction and distribute it to those on the front lines..."
Eryi was bargaining with Ling Lingba in his mind.
After much discussion, the final battlefield was decided to be located in a mountain range over a hundred kilometers from Sunset City. It was sparsely populated, so even if something happened, it would be unlikely to affect nearby residents.
All races in the entire Nadus continent are debugging the coordinates of the one-way teleportation array.
The location of the final battlefield has been selected, and a teleportation array is being built - for precise teleportation.
Magicians from various countries are heading to the places where they received the instructions and are setting up the largest barrier in history overnight.
Kofi followed Eryi back to the treatment station, his brain still not fully digesting the news he just heard.
"Jori," his high priest said, "clear this place today and take those believers who cannot return home to this address."
Why?
Jory didn't seem to understand, but he didn't ask any more questions. "This is Bernice's...Okay."
"Remember to alternate your rest periods with others."
"good."
After a series of protective measures were implemented in Sunset City, monsters no longer appeared inexplicably on the road. As long as you paid attention to the monsters that were not cleared out before and guarded the city walls, you could ensure a certain degree of safety.
Most of those who can only feel safe staying in the church at this time are weak women and children who have no able-bodied men at home and need protection.
Abyss, healing station.
Eryi had just returned from Sunset City and was sitting on a chair in front of the healing station, meditating to restore his magic power and fatigue level to normal.
The sealing progress has reached 41%, which is still more than half.
She had to be on guard against the demons from entering the Nadus continent again through this unsealed entrance.
"Zero Eight, take back the treatment station. I need to move it."
The unsealed entrance has been reduced in size, and after being relocated, the system management range can completely cover it.
5 hours later.
[Reminder to the host, the magical plane, Sunset City's healing stations have been basically cleared.]
Eryi opened her eyes, and all her conditions were restored. All her skills were now available.
Urgent mission: Seal the entrance to the abyss, progress 67%.
"Wait a little longer."
At midnight, Coffey woke up in the prayer room of the healing station.
He woke up from the fall.
When he opened his eyes, everything disappeared and he was lying on the not-so-clean floor.
He quickly got up from the ground and stumbled out the door, only to see his high priest standing in front of the door gesturing at something, seeming a little surprised to see him come out.
"You are?"
"Yes, I'm waiting for you to come back."
Ling Ling Ba, didn’t you say there was no one inside?
[Replying to the host, he is a subordinate with full loyalty and is not considered an outsider.]
Eryi looked at Kofi and thought for a moment.
This person was a bit slow and would not leave without instructions, unlike her other staff or contracted priests who would find things to do on their own.
"Come with me."
Coffey obediently followed Eryi and got on the magic carriage.
The fantasy beast that pulls the cart is rented from the system at a cost of 100 energy points per day.
"Is Lord Sacred Wolf not with you?"
"Well, he's guarding the believers in the city."
Gradually, the carriage drove to the edge of the city wall, and the phantom beast pulled the carriage into the air and flew over the city wall.
…
"Let's do it here." Eryi randomly chose an open place to stop the carriage. When the nearby abyss monsters saw a living person approaching, they attacked from a distance.
Kofi drew his sword, blocked the front, and assumed a fighting stance.
[Once the lease contract is established, all your assets will be frozen.]
[Deduct five million energy points as rental fee.]
A huge monster fell from the sky.
[Do you want to spend 2000 energy points to build a healing station inside the item [Magic Moving Castle]?]
【yes】
